Oh, and it’s my birthday, according to Google.\u00a0 A present,\u00a0 another poem from the forthcoming collection.<\/p>\n

PACIFIC TIME<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cedar jungle.
\nLeft coast.
\nMellifluous bees and<\/p>\n

Hummingbirds swarm the
\nMorning, a teeming creek
\nBows to the sea.<\/p>\n

Chocolate hens and hares
\nConsume the household
\nQuickly. Mugs stacked,<\/p>\n

We steep, fuse. Volatile
\nLives lampooned,
\nBursts. Snipes. Rants<\/p>\n

Compelling as a drowning cow,
\nPert hustler rising in your skull,
\nBut see, Howe Sound<\/p>\n

Currents obviate
\nPrevious episodes, ancient
\nGrievances, low levels.<\/p>\n

Forget restitution.
\nLeave the old scow
\nTo rot on the alluvial plains.<\/p>\n
